IPC: G01N33/84
Filed: 2012-01-03
Abstract: The detector of acidity called DETAC is capable of revealing the presence of acidity hidden in low acidic food, in low acidic drink or in any other low acidic product. A DETAC  reveals the presence of acidity instantaneously, on contact with any acidic product, dry or wet. A DETAC reveals the presence of acidity turning colour from a true red colour into an orange-yellow colour. No waiting, no mess. The sole fact of eating acidic food or drinking acidic drink can cause discomfort, heartburns, health problems, etc. The use of a DETAC before eating or drinking warns about the presence of acidity even if this acidity is very low. Low acidic products can cause problems because acidity can store up faster than it can be neutralized by alkali.  Using a DETAC, we know in advance. A DETAC reveals the presence of acidity in many other products than food or drink and can be useful in many fields. For example, to help people having sensible skin to choose right, not acidic cosmetics in order to avoid allergies or other skin problems.  Same usefulness if we use soap, shampoo, deodorant, perfumery, medicine, etc.  Because an acidic product is a corrosive product, it is practical to know which product among many is not acidic, which one among many products like clothes, paints, glues, etc. is not acidic. Less contacts with acidic products means less physical stress. In all cases, a DETAC is an effective device, easy to use and disposable.
